POS system in Nigeria

Point of sale, stock and customer credit for Nigerian businesses: sell with Bank transfer, Card, OPay or cash, keep stock right and see your profit, on the phone or computer you already have.

Set up for Nigerian businesses

From Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and Kano: whether you run a supermarket in Lagos, a pharmacy in Abuja or a provision store in Ibadan, Afritelligence works the way you already trade.

POS system for provision stores, supermarkets and kiosks in Nigeria

Businesses in Nigeria sell with bank transfer, card or cash, and regular customers buy on credit for trusted customers. Afritelligence records all of it on the same sale: take bank transfer with its reference, the rest in cash, or put the balance on the customer's account with a limit. At closing you see what came in by each method, what was sold and the profit, in NGN.

It runs in the browser on the phone, tablet or laptop you already have — no POS machine to buy — for traders in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and Kano, from a stall near Balogun, Alaba and Onitsha Main Market to a shop with several branches.

  • ✓Bank transfer and cash on one sale, with the reference
  • ✓Customer credit with limits and statements
  • ✓TIN on every receipt
  • ✓Stock that goes down with each sale and up with each delivery
  • ✓Daily sales, profit and payment reports
  • ✓Branches and staff roles on one login

What is a POS system?

A POS (point of sale) system is where a business records each sale: what was sold, the price, the tax and how the customer paid. A good one also keeps stock up to date, remembers customers and who owes what, and adds up the day for you.

Afritelligence is a POS system for businesses in Nigeria. It runs in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer — no machine to buy — and records Bank transfer, Card, OPay and cash in Nigerian Naira (NGN), with your TIN on every receipt.

Who uses a POS system?

Shops, chemists, hardware stores, agrovets, boutiques, electronics and furniture shops, salons and service businesses in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan and Kano all use a POS system to replace the receipt book and the end-of-day calculator.

  • ✓Mini-marts and supermarkets
  • ✓Hardware shops and building suppliers
  • ✓Chemists, agrovets and boutiques
  • ✓Salons, car washes and service businesses

How a day with a POS works

The cashier scans or searches each item, takes payment by Bank transfer, Card, OPay or cash and prints or shares the receipt. Stock is reduced automatically. If the customer pays later, the sale goes on their account.

At closing, the owner sees sales, profit and what came in by each payment method — from the shop or from anywhere.

What a POS system replaces

The receipt book, the stock book and the calculator. Because every sale is recorded once, stock, profit and debts are always up to date, and staff mistakes or theft show up the same day.

Questions from Nigerian business owners

Do I need a POS machine in Nigeria?

No. It runs on your phone, tablet or computer; add a scanner or receipt printer later if you want.

What is the price of a POS system in Nigeria?

Afritelligence is a monthly subscription per branch with no machine to buy. It runs on your phone or computer, and you can pay in US dollars.

Is this the same as a bank POS terminal?

No. A bank POS terminal only takes card payments. Afritelligence is point of sale software: it records every sale however the customer pays (transfer, card or cash), tracks your stock and shows your profit.

Does it calculate VAT at 7.5%?

Yes. Products can include VAT, add it on top or carry none, and your reports show the VAT collected.

Can I record transfers from OPay, Moniepoint or PalmPay?

Yes. Record the payment with its reference so every transfer is matched to a sale.

Do I need to buy a POS machine?

No. It runs on a phone, tablet or computer; a printer and scanner are optional.

Does it work without a computer?

Yes. A smartphone is enough to sell, check stock and see reports.

Can I use it for more than one shop?

Yes. Each branch has its own stock, staff and till, on one owner login.

Can staff steal through the system?

Every sale, discount and void is recorded against the person who did it, and cashiers only see what you allow.
